| Overseas Otaku Buying Tips
Making online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been the best option for me (and many otakus who do not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list, preorders and purchases from these reputable online companies. Your purchase via these links supports this site :)

 • YesAsia (Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
 • J-list (many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
 • HobbySearch (Comprehensive inventory
     but no free shipping and no shipping cost
     provided upon placing an order )
 • HLJ (very good alternative to HobbySearch)
 • E2046 (many figures & rules in resin kit)
 • Play-Asia (My #1 online shop)

Tag: Figure, Nendoroid, Pixel Maritan
Yay! I have just recently acquired Nendoroid Pixel Maritan, not one, but two of them! Nendoroid Maritan comes in 2 versions -#56a and #56b-. The #56a Assault Combat version which is a Hobby Japan mail-in order is priced slightly higher than #56b and she comes with different accessories, obviously her bazooka has lured my to get both of them *Ouch! My wallet!*

While there aren't too many online resources about Maritan, this Japansugoi's entry will give you a very good introduction of this moe-nized bad-mouthed U.S. Marine Drill Insturctor (Maritan web comic official site here). Otherwise head straight to Youtube for "video'ed" version of Maritan's drama CD (voice acting) contents! PS: You do not really have to know Japanese language to enjoy those videos :)

Surprisingly, Nendoroid Pixel Maritan 56b comes with a "middle-finger" optional hand for some nasty pose. If you have already watched some Youtube videos above, I suppose the following photo will not leave you any bad impression about Maritan?

@ James,
Arigatou! I love Nendoroids because their size is uniformed and they do not take up much space :)

@ meronpan,
Thanks! I like her bazooka the most. Watch 2 episodes on Youtube and you will get a good grasp of who she is!

I wrote an article on Nendoroid's picture. As I appreciated these pictures, I took them(with a link towards your Flickr's album and you website) to show her to the French community. If it you don't like, I can however remove the images :
